With the arrival of the new season, it's time to join in the chorus of the oldest known English song:
Sumer is icumen in
Lhude sing cuccu!
Growth sed and bloweth med
And springs be wde nu.
Sing cuccu!
Murie sing cuccu!
Lovely! You handled the Middle English beautifully!
When December comes, we'll be ready for Ezra Pound's cold weather parody: "Winter is icumen in."
